Carmen

Carmen the cigarette factory worker, Carmen beyond the legend, Carmen as passion, Carmen as independence, Carmen free in body and soul, Carmen: The Woman. Carmen of Seville. Seville of Carmen. Seville, the city of working women riding the first wave of feminism before anyone had the given the movement a name. Carmen determined to be herself and putting her life at risk. Autonomy at work and in love. The sovereignty of free spirits. Carmen and Bizet are celebrating 150 years since the one of the most well‐known operas in the world first came to the stage. Along with the death of the composer, soon after his work premiered. Myth and creator in an embrace which reaches deep within us, and is part of our emotional consciousness. The legend has transcended as a role model for women, Carmen belongs to a world beyond Mérimée or Bizet. This opera has turned drama into a song of freedom. The stage direction is by Emilio Sagi, an essential name in a long family line associated with opera and zarzuela on the Spanish stage, an academic and university professor, and former Artistic Director of the Teatro Real of Madrid or the Teatro Arriaga of Bilbao. Carmen is Maria Kataeva, Dalibor Jenis, the bullfighter Escamillo, and Piero Pretti plays the role of Don José, along with other important voices for a double cast in six performances. A title which the Teatro de la Maestranza has prepared with the same passion and joy as Seville has recognised the opera to be an intrinsic part of its identity. Carmen as ambassador of a Seville that was, and is, at the forefront and that continues to defend rights and beauty in equal measure.

Our Monterey & Carmel Explorer Tour will take you along California's Pacific Coast on your way to historic Monterey & picturesque Carmel‐by‐the‐Sea along with a drive through Pacific Grove in between. You’ll start the day traveling south on the famous Pacific Coast Highway, California Highway 1 (fog permitting). You will set foot in Monterey for about two hours, which gives you plenty of time to stroll among the shops along historic Cannery Row, grab a fresh seafood lunch or just wander along Ocean View Boulevard all the way to Lover's Point Beach. Afterwards, follow the coast through the beautiful little town of Pacific Grove on the way to the 17‐Mile Drive. This famous road winds its way between magnificent homes and the spectacular coastline, between the greens and tees of world famous golf courses like Spyglass Hill, and among the last remaining forest of a rare species of trees, the Monterey Cypress, which is sculpted by relentless pacific breezes into fanciful shapes. The Lone Cypress is a very poignant example of one of these hardy trees hanging on to life (with the help of human engineering) in a seemingly impossible location. Upon arrival in the enchanted town of Carmel‐by‐the‐Sea, you can explore the boutique shops on Ocean Avenue or be dazzled by the white sandy beach. If there is time and interest, we can visit the historic Carmel Mission as a last stop.  Come and join our Monterey & Carmel Explorer Tour now for an exquisite experience.
